[quote user="Antonio J."] I really can't understand how a company selling a power regeneration device priced well over 2000 or maybe 3000 USD could send you 5 units and being al them "defective". Did I miss anything here? [/quote]

I initial thought to place this article into my Audio For Dummies™ section but then I decided to keep it in this pure audio section. What I would like to do is to point is to address one of the major foolishness that widely spread in High-End au...

Well, the added benefits of cross-source validation is that some of the sources are stable but others are less stable and might vary in its basic quality with time. For instance digital is very stable and since you once set it up properly then it rem...

It is know that in addition to basic tastes (I believe bitter, salty, sour, sweet) of the Western culture those “different” Japanese people recognize another taste they call it “Umami”. Umami, if I am not mistaken, is a sense deliciousnes...

[quote user="Paul S"] This may also be a factor in the "randomness" capability, which is really only freedom of movement, and not "randomness", per se.[/quote]
OK, is it “randomness” of “freedom of movement”, the question is not about juts semantics...

In my post above I have mention that Srajan is in a way a brainless parrot that repeats the heard and has no ability of desire to understand what was the noise about. His comments that 6E5P and E810F are “close electrical” is a good indication how it...

That was very interesting post, here are some thoughts of my about it.
[quote user="KOTriode"]Romy, No, the DAC was not set at maximum level (for best sound) while Cyrille listening to the system. It was set at normal volume for the whole sys...

This is an article from Thomas Dunker's site (available in my Links Section) and presumably written by him. Although I slightly disagree with some of the statements he made about the horns “imaging” and some others but generally it is very good...

[quote user="manisandher"] And I can indeed replicate this effect... but only with my RME FF800 and not with my Weiss AFI1.
With the FF800 (slaved to the Pacific), changing the Pacific's wordclock does indeed change the speed of any audio/vide...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Could you clarify: Would you like to vent the rear chamber or increase its volume (or both)? This weekend I will try listening with the rear covers on the Lower-Mids slightly open... [/quote]

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]OK, here are some follow up thoughts after the completion of the project. I am sure I will burn it for a month or so. I think everything will be fine, I do not expect any issuers technical or sonic. The way how the entrance...

[quote user="Merlin"] Indeed the linearity of the Berning in comparison with the Lamm is quite remarkable, and indeed could be disconcerting to an inexperienced listener brought up on large increases on 2nd harmonic at the bottom end. [/quote]

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] The second action is a process of active injection of sonic particulars into down-line components…..That dual activity should be always understood as two separate elements of PurePower’s contribution. [/quote]This re...

[quote user="Antonio J."]Thanks for the comments. I believe that a preamp giving the same kind of benefits of Melquiades and being able to deliver them with any power amp and speakers would be something truly great. I know it won't be the same than t...

[quote user="Stitch"] What we saw and it amazed us, is the huge increase in pricing… [/quote]
The Hi-Fi is boutique products and it is customary to sell it for boutique prices. I am sure the economy also “helps”.

I think we have to subdivide bass into upper bass from 100hz to whatever your midrange does and bass under 100hz and then maybe infrabass.
Front loaded upper bass horns are fantastic and I would say if you never heard one, you really nev...

I made afford to read more of Mike Malinowski article – another two pages. I reached the place where Mike said the following:

[quote user="Amir"]I think the magic key in advancing audio is understanding the proper meaning of “dynamics” .In my opinion The main problem is audiophiles care more about “musicality”, “sweetness”, “resolution” , “soundstage” , “tone” , “transparen...

In continuation to the "A new round of Pacific’s DAC listening" post.... I have a number of revisions of this little contest between two DACs in this thread and in other threads. In all of them the Lavry 924 has a little edge over Pacific Microso...

Hi Paul, thanks for your insights.Yes, we have published our results in other forums too. That was a great experience. It was a lot of fun being able to share all that with them. :)[QUOTE][URL=http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f8-general-forum/playcl...

After 13 year of using of
my active Placette my preamp now is undergoing a modification. My knew listening

Let's first try to go over some concepts to see if the both of you are speaking the same language (from Sphile's glossary):

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] After observing a pair of AK151s operating in free air, though only lightly driven, I just don't see how they can possibly generate so much pressure, as the cone barely moves! [/quote]

Wolfy, first of all your
question is based upon wrong supposition. I never asserted that tubes belong in
the power amplifier and not in preamp section. I never remember made this comment
and why I know it is because it is never was a part of my be...
